Will my Nipples Point Outward After Breast Augmentation? (photo)

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your “starting point”, you should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Given that your nipple/areola complexes sit  somewhat to the “sides” on your breast mounds, it is likely that you will have basically the same situation exist,  on larger breasts, after breast augmentation surgery is performed.

 If this is a concern to you, make sure you communicate this concern with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery. It is possible with breast implant pocket dissection and appropriate breast implant size/profile selection that the nipple/areola complexes can be “better centered” to some degree.

 Best wishes.

       The areolae will look similar to the way they look now.   There are a couple of maneuvers that can be utilized to minimize this, but they can have disadvantages as well.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
